In the appeared campaign settings window, on the first stage, please fill in the following:

1. Campaign name (can be anything)
2. Choose the sending time from three options - "**Immediately**", "**Select from the file column**", or "**Choose a specific time**". If you select "Choose a specific time", it will be your local time (your computer's time).
3. Upload the table in the format *xlsx* or *csv* with three required columns - the **sender's name** (Sender ID), the **recipient's number**, and the **message text**. In addition, you can specify the **time** of sending in the fourth column. The time must be specified in the format `31.12.2024 23:59:59`
